I don't mind if my kids grab and eat these throughout the day. They can eat as many as they want, as long as they save some for me!

Variations

Make these popsicles your own and add your favorite ingedients!

Use any type of yogurt - plain, blueberry, lemon, greek, nonfat, or a goat's milk yogurt.
Use fresh or frozen berries - just add as is. The food processor will mix them up.
Add orange zest and orange peel instead of lemon.

Tips for making popsicles

Allow enough time for the popsicles to freeze. Time will vary depending on your freezer and the size of your molds.
Popsicle molds vary in size. This recipe used ¼ cup capacity molds. Double or triple this recipe as needed.
Don't overfill your molds. The filling does expand a bit as it freezes.
Excess filling can be eaten as a smoothie or refrigerated for later.

Recipe FAQs

How long will Popsicles last?

These should last for up to one month in your freezer. However, they'll still be tasty after that amount of time. They just might become a bit icy, depending on your freezer.

What if I don't have popsicle molds?

You can still make this fun treat without a mold. Use small paper cups and wooden sticks.

When ready to eat, just peel away the paper cup and enjoy!
